Shout out your steward on the podcast

What’s goin on folks!

First off, I wasn’t sure where to post this so I posted it here. Didn’t want to clog up a more serious discussion room.

So I have an idea for an episode that I want to run by you that may or may not work. Either way, it'll take your contributions for it to be a success.
If you have listened to enough episodes, you will know that I’m constantly saying this podcast is about “informing, educating, and encouraging” fellow Teamsters, especially newer ones so I want to try something new & different for the “encouraging” part of it.

I do the podcast through a create-a-podcast app called Anchor. Well, Anchor has this feature where you can “SEND A VOICE MESSAGE" for the host. I’ve never used it but would like to try it. A link is at the bottom. If we're not allowed to post links, my bad.

Here’s my thoughts:
When I first became a steward, first thing my BA told me was that it’s a “thankless job" and while I’m positive none of us took this role for accolades, let’s admit that it feels good when we get them, especially when its heartfelt.

To leave a message to shout out your shop steward.

Too corny? It gets cornier.

If you’re up to it, you can say their name and/or center & shift. You can also Include your location, if comfortable, and I encourage you to rep your local & state.

Don’t be shy to say why you appreciate them but also try to keep it short & sweet. I’m not sure if the voice message has a time limit.

I’ll play them on an upcoming show and if I get enough, maybe I’ll dedicate a whole show for it.

Maybe this’ll work, maybe it won’t but I won’t know unless I try.

Please no trolls, catfishing, or negativity. If I suspect there is any of that going on, I’ll just pass.

Let’s see how this goes…
